PREFATORY NOTE

The Editorial Committee have pleasure in issuing the Fourth Volume
of the Fasti. More than half of their work has now been completed.
But for unforeseen circumstances, progress would have been speedier.
As it is, the unavoidable delay has borne good fruit otherwise, in
enabling the Committee to cover a wider field of enquiry, and to
expiscate a considerable number of points of biographical difficulty
and obscurity.

In the first of the Synods contained in Volume Four — that of
Argyll — the difficulties have been unusually great. Few of the
Separate Registers have been kept with regularity, the blanks in
some of the Records extending over a long period of years. In
order to supply information not found in these sources, access has
been obtained to the Registers and Documents within H.M. General
Register House, and to a variety of papers in the possession of
private individuals. Many published volumes of Local and Family
History have also yielded their quota, and the literature of the
tombstones has again served its own useful purpose. Pains have
been taken to verify the information given, but, as was said in
a former Note, the Volumes — dealing with so vast a mass of names
and dates — do not claim to be immaculate. The present Volume,
it is hoped, is as free from errors as is possible.

The Committee desire to express their thanks to the Clerks
of the various Presbyteries, and to the Revs. James King Hewison,
D.D., Rothesay; Alexander Matthew Wyllie, Auchtergaven ; William
Alexander Macfarlane, Dull; Peter Robert Landreth, Perth; and
William Wilson, Trossachs; and to Captain Herbert Campbell, for much
assistance in the preparation of the work.

The Volume has been brought down to the eve of publication.

Uth July 1922.

SYNOD OF ARGYLL

The Synod of Argyll was erected by the General Assembly on 18th Dec
1638. To it were then assigned the five Presbyteries of Dunoon, Kinloch,
Inveraray, Kilmore, and Skye. Kinloch is now styled Campbeltown, and
Kilmore we call Lorn. Skye was transferred to the Synod of Glenelg in
1724. The Synod Kegister of Argyll begins at 24th April 1639. There
is a blank in the Eecord from May 1661 to 29th Sept. 1687.

PRESBYTERY OF INVERARAY

[This Court first appears on Record as the Presbytery of Argyll. It is so styled in
1604. In 1638, when the Synod of Argyll was set up, this Court is named the Presbytery
of Inveraray. The Presbytery Register begins at 13th Oct. 1691. There are gaps in the
Record from 14th April 1702 to 17th May 1715, from 27th Sept. 1725 to 7th Aug. 1731,
and from 17th May 1763 to 27th April 1779. The Separate Register is very incomplete.]

GLASSARY.

[The church of Glassary was dedicated to
St Michael. Beside it a Michaelmas fair
used to be held. There were three chapels
in the parish. One of them was on the
west side at Kilbride. It bore the name
of St Bride. Another stood at Killevin,
near Crarae, on Lochfyne. It was dedi-
cated to St Stebhan, Abbot of Iona. The
ruins of St Columba's Church can still be
seen at Cill an Iubhair (the chapel of the
Yew-tree) on Loch Awe. At Cill an Iubhair,
which was once a village of some size, there
was held a yearly tryst called Am Margadh
Dubh (the Black Fair).]

have completed his studies. In a contest
with the notorious Colchiotach, the parties
are said to have been equally matched, and
Zachary to have been highly complimented
by his adversary for courage and skill as a
swordsman. Zachary was served heir to

the first manses in the county, and well
known for its "nineteen windows." He
died "greatly lamented" 28th March 1722,
after years of intense physical suffering.
In 1719 he wrote: "I walked only with
the help of two stilts, and since 14th Oct.
1716 I was so universally taken with gout
in hands and feet that I never stood on
my own legs since that day, nor moved a
step, but as I was carried each Sabbath
to preach, which I was forced to do sitting
on a chair on the floor of the church, not
being able to ascend the pulpit, and yet
I was helped to preach each Sabbath :
my hand also was unable to write. I
was obliged to sit from morning to even-
ing on my bedside, being unable to stir
or walk one step." He marr. June 1692,

blaren, min. of Glenaray [as a young woman

GLENARAY AND INVERARAY.

[These two parishes were united on 27th
March 1745. About that time the church of
Glenaray was rebuilt at Inveraray. Each
parish has still its own minister and its own
church, both churches being at Inveraray.

Glenaray. — The old church of Glenaray
was at Kilmalew. It was dedicated to
St Malew (Maldhuibh). Within the bounds
there were six chapels, St Fintan's at
Kilmun, St Blaan's at Kilblaan, St Bride's
at Kilbride, St John's at Killiain, and the
chapels of Glen Shira and Achantiobaiot.
On Loch Gair there is now a mission chapel.

Inveraray. — The parish of Inveraray was
disjoined from Glenaray on 26th Dec.
1651, but was again united to it in 1745.
At Inveraray there was of old a chapel of
St Beaandan.]

charging his pastoral duties with prudence,
charity, and wisdom." He preached under
a rock long known as the " parson's pulpit,"
until a church was built. He was believed
to have had the gift of prophecy and to
have foretold his death by drowning. This
happened at Stirling, where, at an alarm
of fire, he fell from an outside stair "head

SOUTH KNAPDALE.

[This parish was disjoined from North
Knapdale on 20th Feb. 1734. At Cill mo
Charmaig, in Eilean M6r, an island on the
west coast of the parish, stand the remark-
able ruins of two ancient churches, both
dedicated to St Cormac. The older building,
evidently of very early date, is of dry stone
without mortar, nearly square, and about
eleven feet long. Behind it, enclosed by it
and entering from it, is a cave in the rock.
This edifice appears to have been the early
parish church of all Knapdale. The later
church near it was in use for parochial
worship until 1734. It has a chancel, and
is nearly forty feet long. Besides these
two churches of St Cormac, there are two
other fine ruined chapels in South Knapdale,
St Mary's at Kilmorie, and St Columba's
at Keils. At Keils there are a fine stand-
ing stone cross and also St Columba's
Cave. A chapel of St Constantine, which
stood at Kilchuslan on Loch Gilp, no longer
exists. South Knapdale has two parish
churches, the one at Achahoish, where the
manse is, and the other at Inverneil.]

KILMUN (Q.S.).

[From a very early time there was on
Loch Seant (the Holy Loch) a church of
St Fintan Munna. In due time it became
the parish church of Kilmun. In 1442
Sir Duncan Campbell of Loch Awe, after-
wards first Lord Campbell, granted it a
collegiate foundation with the ancient
dedication to St Fintan. The parishes of
Dunoon and Kilmun were often held by
the same incumbent even as late as the
seventeenth century. From 1629 onwards
efforts were made to have the two parishes
sufficiently endowed as separate charges,
but without success. Towards the end of
the seventeenth century, however, a union
was carried through. It lasted till the 16th
of March 1894, when Kilmun was disjoined
quoad sacra from Dunoon. Kilmun had a
yearly fair of St Fintan, and another fair
on Roodmas Day.]

DUNCAN CAMPBELL, had a grant of
the Provostry from James VI. in
1601, and a similar grant from
Archibald, Earl of Argyll, 1602 ; he granted
a lease of the teinds of Dysart in Glenorchy
to Archibald Campbell of Kilmun.— [Orig.

KINGARTH.

[The church of Kingarth belonged to the
Abbey of Paisley. For a time this parish
was in the Presbytery of Irvine, but in
August 1639 it was transferred to that of
Dunoon. The first church here was most
likely built by St Catan towards the end of
the sixth century. His name survives in
Kilchatan and Suidhe Chatain (Catan's
Seat), both in this parish. St Blaan, a
nephew of St Catan, founded the Celtic
Abbey of Cill Bhlaain, whose extensive
ruins are to be seen between Suidh Chatain
and Suidhe Bhlaain (Blaan's Seat). In the
old churchyard of Kingarth, which is still

Margadh na h-Eaglais (the Tryst of the
Church), St Blaan's Fair used to be held.
In 1680 a new parish church was built on a
more central site. In 1826 this latter was
replaced by another new church.]

in the ancient churchyard. At Kilbride in
Glenmor there stood a chapel of St Bride,
and at Kilchiarain was one dedicated to St
Kiaran. St Breandan was held in high
honour in Bute ; but his name is now kept

Sound. A church dedicated to St Ninian
was built at Port Bannatyne in 1886.]

ROTHESAY.

[The rectory of Rothesay belonged to the
Abbey of Kilwinning. In early times its
church was dedicated to St Brioch. A
later church, built probably as early as
the thirteenth century, bore the name of St
Mary. Under episcopal rule in the seven-
teenth century, this church of St Mary at
Rothesay was the cathedral of the diocese
of the Isles. In 1692 Rothesay Church was
rebuilt mainly on its old site. The chancel
was retained, but the rest of the building
was taken down and rebuilt. In 1795 the
church was again rebuilt. This time the
plan of the edifice was so altered that the
old chancel was left standing close to the
new church. There its ruins still remain.
This chapel is thirty-three feet long and
twenty-two feet broad externally, and con-
tains several finely sculptured effigies of
early date. The parish church was reno-
vated in 1906.

Besides the parish church, Rothesay had
a chapel of St Mary. On St Bride's Hill
also, within the burgh, there was a chapel
of St Bride. In Rothesay Castle there
was a chapel of St Michael, whose ruins

survive. There were also in pre-Reforma-
tion times chapels dedicated to Saints
Ciaran, Finan, Colman, Columba, Con-
stantine, Machan, and Mary, and the re-
mains of several of these are visible with
holy wells close by their sites.

Until recent times Rothesay continued
to hold a fair in honour of its patron,
St Brioch.

There is in the town a mission chapel for
Gaelic services. It was built in 1836.]

Kilchiaran. — In the. sixth century, St
Kiaran came from Ireland as a Christian
missionary to the people of Kintyre. A
cavern on the sea-shore of this parish,
called Uamh Chiarain (Kiaran's Cave),
is pointed out as having served him for
a temporary dwelling. In after times it

CAMPBELTOWN

[PRESB. OF

was in use as a hermitage. The adjoining
bay was termed Loch Chiarain, and several
other places within the bounds, including a
holy well, bear the saint's name. A church,
standing of old on the side of the loch,
was dedicated to St Kiaran. Of it but
scanty traces are now left in the ancient
churchyard. Kilchiaran was a prebend
of Lismore, and belonged to the Abbey
of Paisley. In 1662, a new church for the
parish was built at Dalruadhan, further
up the loch. From its site, this place
came to be styled Ceann Loch Chiarain
(the End of Loch Chiarain), and often
merely Kinloch. At times Ave find both
church and parish called Loch Head. The
name Dalruadhan (Ruadhan's Field) seems
to imply a commemoration of St Ruadhan
of Lorrha in Ormonde, an early friend
and comrade of St Kiaran. The township
appears to have been first named Campbel-
town in 1672, but the parish continued to
be styled Kilchiaran until 1700. In that
year King William granted a charter,
making the place a royal burgh, and
calling it Campbeltown. A building in
the town, which was once the parish
church, and is now used for mission
services, is styled Kinloch Chapel. Fairs
used to be held in Campbeltown, at
Lammas and Michaelmas.

During the troubled times of the seven-
teenth century, many refugees from the
western Lowlands found shelter in this
part of Kintyre, under the protection of
the Marquess of Argyll. Not knowing
Gaelic, they could not join in the worship
of the parish churches. Therefore, in
1638, a chapel was built for them at
Kilchiaran, and a Lowland congregation
was formed there. In 1655 the Presb.
made this Lowland chapel a separate
Charge. On 23rd Nov. 1757, the Lowland
Charge was merged in the parish of
Campbeltown. Hence it comes that the
burgh has two parish churches under one
kirk-session. The Gaelic services are con-
ducted by the minister of the First Charge
in the large church. The smaller church
belongs to the Lowland Charge, and in it
only English services are held. Both build-
ings are kept up by the heritors.

Kilchuslan. — The ancient church of Kil-
chuslan, a building about sixty feet long
with a chancel, now stands ruined in its old
churchyard near the shore. It was dedicated
to St Constantine the Martyr.

Kilmichael in Kintyre.— The church of
Kilmichael was a prebend of Lismore. It
was dedicated to St Michael.

Kilchievan.— The ruins of the ancient
church of Kilchievan, a building over fifty
feet in length, are still standing. It was
dedicated to St Caomhghan (Kevin) of
Glendalough. In 1617 the parish of Kil-
chievan was united to Kilcholumkill and
Kilblaan. In 1671 that union was dis-
solved, and Kilchievan was then joined to
Kilchiaran, Kilchuslan, and Kilmichael.]

On it there is an old ruined chapel of rude
masonry, some thirty feet long, with its

SADDELL.

[On 11th March 1753 the Court of Teinds
disjoined from the parish of Killean the
district of Saddell, and from the adjoining
parish of Kilcalmonell that of Skipness.
The Court then erected the two districts
thus disjoined into the new parish of Saddell.
Each of these districts had its own church,
and the parish was therefore commonly
styled Saddell and Skipness. In 1870 Skip-
ness was taken from Saddell, and made
a separate parish. The parish of Saddell
contains the ruins of St Mary's Cistercian
Abbey of Saddell, founded about 1150 by
Ranald of the Isles, second son of the great
Somerled. There was of old, within the
bounds, a well of St Andrew, and at Kil-
michael in Carradale there stood a chapel
of St Michael. There are now mission
chapels at Carradale and Grogport.]

SOUTHEND, or KILCHOLUM-
KILL AND KILBLAAN.

[In 1617 a Commission of Parliament
united the three parishes of Kilcholumkill,
Kilblaan, and Kilchievan, which together
make up the south end of Kintyre. In

union, and was joined to Kilchiaran, Kil-
chuslan, and Kilmichael. Since then the

two united parishes of Kilcholumkill and
Kilblaan have been commonly known as
Southend.

Kilcholumkill. — The ancient church of
Kilcholumkill, of which the ruins still
stand, was dedicated to St Columba. It

Well), is, perhaps, the only trace of it now
left. There were also of old in Colonsay,
chapels of St Catan, St Kenneth, and
St Mary. On the island of Oronsay there
remain extensive ruins of the Augustinian
Priory of St Columba, founded about 1350
by John, Lord of the Isles. Its church
has been nearly 100 feet in length. Before
the west end of this ancient church stands
a stone cross, about 12 feet high, elaborately
carved.]

JURA, or KILEARNADAIL.

[Until modern times this parish was of
vast extent, including also many islands,
of which nine were inhabited. Among
these, besides Jura and Scarba, were
Lunga, the Garvelach Isles, Colonsay,
Oronsay, Gigha, and Cara. To get over
the difficulty of working so wide a field,
the Presb. of Kintyre, on 27th Oct.
1702, directed that "the minister shall
preach six months and a half in Jura, and
five and a half months at Colonsay, yearly."
The parish of Gigha was taken off in 1726,
and that of Colonsay in 1861. The church
of Jura at Kilearnadail was dedicated to
St Kiaran. On Eileach Naomh, one of the

example we have of the primitive beehive
architecture of our early Christian times.
Near them is shown Tobar Cholumcille
(St Columba's Well), and not far off is
St Eithne's Grave, held in honour as the
burial-place of St Columba's mother. At
Kilmorie, in Scarba, there was a chapel
of St Mary. In Lunga were St Columba's
Chapel and Holy Well. In Jura itself there
were chapels of St Catan and St Mary.]

[The church of this parish was dedicated
to St Comman of Tyrconnel. In 1618
Kilchoman was united to Kilarrow, but
their union was dissolved in 1769. In the
old ruined church at Kilchoman lie fine
monuments and other ancient carved work.
At the west end, outside the church, there
is a stately standing cross, carved on both
sides and bearing an inscription. Within
the church are fragments of other monu-
mental crosses. At the north end of the
parish are Eilean Naomh (the Holy Isle)
and Aird Naomh (the Holy Headland).
On Eilean Naomh there was from a very
early time a small monastery. A ruined
chapel still survives. Near that, on the
mainland of Islay, is the ruined chapel of
Cill Naomh. At its west end there stands

KILDALTON.

[The church of Kildalton was dedicated
to St John the Evangelist, called in the
early Gaelic Church "Ian Daltan" (John
the Foster-brother). The parishes of Kil-
dalton and Kilnachtan or Oa were united
before the sixteenth century. On 30th
May 1849 their union was dissolved by the
erection of the Oa again as a parish quoad
sacra. About the same time the church of
this parish was removed from Kildalton
to Lagamhuilin. In the churchyard at Kil-
dalton the very interesting ancient church,
a building about sixty feet long, now stands
roofless. Before its west end, there stands
among the tombstones a stone cross about
nine feet high very richly carved. A little
way off, outside the churchyard, is another
standing cross about twelve feet high.
Within the church are fine monumental
figures and other carved stone-work.

At Kilchuban, in the north of this parish,
is the ruined chapel of St Caomhan of
Glendalough. It is about thirty-five feet
long, rudely built of dry stone without
mortar. Near it is Tobar Chubain (St
Caomhan's Well). At Kilcholumkill there
is a Well of St Columba. There was once
a chapel of the saint there, but his Well
alone remains now. At Kilbride there is
still a ruined chapel of St Bride. There
used to be a standing cross beside it, but
that was in danger of falling, and was
therefore removed to another site some

years ago. At Kill Lasrach is St Lasrach's
ruined chapel, with St Lasrach's Well hard
by. On the island of Texa there is an
interesting ruin of a chapel about thirty
feet long. A good many finely sculptured
stones have been found there.
At Port-Ellen there is a mission chapel.]

KILMENY (Q.S.).

[The parish of Kilmeny was united to
Kilarrow before 1550. Early in the nine-
teenth century a parliamentary church was
built to take the place of the ancient ruined
church of Kilmeny. On 13th May 1849
Kilmeny was disjoined quoad sacra from
Kilarrow. In the old ruined church are
still to be seen a number of carved stones,
some of them monumental. There are also
fine mural remains in the ruined chapel
of St Columba at Kilcholumkill. Not far
from that, at Gill Sleibhin, are the remains
of a chapel dedicated to St Sleavan, Abbot
of Iona. At Gill Ghilleagan, too, there was
a chapel, and at Gill Bhreanan there was
one dedicated to St Breandan. On Loch
Finlagan, an inland sheet of water, are the
interesting ruins of a chapel of St Finlagan
of Tallaght, with fine stone monuments.

In this parish there are mission chapels
at Bunnahavain and Caol Ila.]

THE OA, of old KILNACHTAN
(Q.S.).

[Islay was long a stronghold of the Norse
dominion in the West, and many places
there still bear Norse names. But the
churches and chapels were almost all called
by Gaelic names. The modern name of
this parish is a notable exception. The
rocky, wind-swept, half-insular headland
which forms nearly the whole parish, is
always styled by Islay people in Gaelic
An O, or in English the Oa. In this
name we have a survival of the old Norse
term 0, meaning an island. The ancient
ecclesiastical name of the parish is Kil-
nachtan, so called from its patron, St
Neachtan, the Pictish king.

Somewhere about 1830, a parliamentary
church was built in the southern part of
the Oa, to take the place of Kilnachtan
Church, which had become ruinous. On
30th May 1849 the parish of the Oa was
disjoined quoad sacra from Kildalton.
At the head of Kilnachtan Bay, half-buried
by the drifted sand of the shore, the old
church now stands roofless. It is some
forty feet long, and evidently of early
date. There are fine old monumental
figures within it and ancient stone carvings.
At Cill Chatain in this parish there is a
chapel of St Catan, and at Cill Chomhain
is one dedicated to St Coan. Both are

now much ruined. There was formerly
another chapel at Tocmal.]

PRESBYTERY OF LORN, called of old KILMORE

[The General Assembly erected the Presbytery of Kilmore on 8th Dec. 1638. In

were severed again. The Presbytery Register begins at 14th May 1651. There are gaps
in the record from 11th April 1661 to 31st Oct. 1666, from 30th Nov. 1681 to 5th July
1704, from 3rd Aug. to 14th Nov. 1711, from 8th Dec. 1714 to 7th July 1729, and from
12th Feb. 1800 to 24th Nov. 1829. The gap between 1681 and 1704 is due, at least in the
main, to this Court being at that time merged in the Presbytery of Inveraray. From 6th
May 1806 to 6th Aug. 1829 the minutes are written in scroll merely, and are defective.
The ordinary meetings of Presbytery are now held at Oban. The Separate Register is

APPIN (Q.S.).

[The parish of Appin was first disjoined
from Lismore in or about the year 1650.
Like a good many other parochial erections
made by the Commissioners of Teinds, this
one fell under the sweeping revocation of
the Act of Parliament of 9th Feb. 1661,
known as the Act Rescissory. The effect
was to join Appin again to Lismore. On
15th May 1868 the parish of Appin was
disjoined a second time, and was of new
erected as a parish quoad sacra. The
present church was built in 1889. There
was of old a chapel of St Patrick within
the bounds, on Loch Creran. There is now
a mission chapel in Glencreran.]

ARDCHATTAN, on BAILE
MHAODAIN.

[The ancient church of this parish was
dedicated to St Modan. Hence comes its
name of Baile Mhaodain (St Modan 's town-
ship). In 1231 Duncan MacDougall of
Lorn founded, near the parish church of
St Modan, a priory of the order of Val
de Choux, dedicated to St Catan. This
monastery gave to the parish its modern
name of Ardchattan (St Catan's Height).
Near the church was St Modan's Well, and
hard by St Modan's Fair was held. In
1618 the parishes of Ardchattan and
Muckairn were united. They were severed
again in 1649. The Act Rescissory of 1661
repealed their disjunction, and Muckairn
was thus annexed a second time to Ard-
chattan. It was, however, disjoined again
quoad sacra on 9th December 1846. At
Kilcholumkill in this parish, on the north
shore of Loch Etive, there was a chapel of
St Columba. At Benderloch there is now
a mission chapel of St Modan.]

[At Kilcholumkill in Glen Duror there
was of old a chapel of St Columba. In

from Lismore, and erected the new parish
of Duror. In 1661, by passing the Act
Rescissory, Parliament annulled this and
other proceedings of the Commissioners.
Thus the erection of the new parish was
set aside, and Duror was united again to
Lismore, as were at the same time Eilean
Munda and Appin. This state of things
lasted for nearly 200 years. Early in the
nineteenth century a parliamentary chapel
was built here. On 9th Dec. 1846, the
parish of Duror was again disjoined quoad
sacra from Lismore.]

GLENCOE, or EILEAN
MUNDA (Q.S.).

[The island of Eilean Munda lies in Loch
Leven near the place where the River Coe
falls into the loch. On the island are the
ruins of the ancient church of this parish.
It was dedicated to St Fintan Munu,
after whom the place is named. Early
in the sixteenth century the parishes of
Lismore and Eilean Munda were already
united. In or about 1650 the Commis-
sioners of Teinds disjoined Eilean Munda
from Lismore, making it again a separate
parish. About that time, too, the church
on the island was restored and enlarged.
It is now a ruin, about fifty feet long. By
the Act Rescissory, passed in 1661, Parlia-
ment rendered void the erection of Eilean
Munda, along with those of the neighbour-
ing parishes of Duror and Appin. Thus
all three were again attached to Lismore.

Sometime early in the nineteenth century
a new church for the district was built on
the mainland near the mouth of Glencoe.
To it also was given the name of St Fintan
Munu. Thenceforth services were again
held regularly, and, on 14th July 1890, the
parish of Glencoe or Eilean Munda was
once more disjoined quoad sacra from
Lismore. There is now a mission chapel
within the bounds at Kinlochleven.]

GLENORCHY AND INISHAIL

[PRESB. OF

GLENORCHY AND INISHAIL.

[These two parishes were united in 1618,
but were severed again in 1650. This new
erection of Inishail, however, fell under the
general revocation of Church procedure
contained in the Act Rescissory passed by
Parliament in 1661. Thus the two parishes
were joined again. Until 1668 they formed
part of the Presb. of Inveraray, but in that
year the united parishes were transferred
to the Presb. of Cowal, now called Dunoon.
On 12th May 1729 the united parishes
of Glenorchy and Inishail were annexed to
the Presb. of Lorn. Each of the parishes
continues to have its own church.

Glenorchy or Clachan an Diseairt. — St
Conan's Mission to the Picts had its seat
at Dalmally in Glenorchy. When the saint
died, they buried him on the island of Inis
Chonain in the River Orchy. There the
remains of the ancient church of St Conan
are still to be seen. To view his relics
shown in it, and to visit St Conan's Well
at Dalmally, pilgrims were wont to come
from far and near. The Diseairt, or Her-
mitage, to which St Conan retired, gave the
place the name of Clachan an Diseairt (the
Village of the Hermitage). The parish
church has been rebuilt at Dalmally on the
mainland. Glenorchy had two fairs, St
Conan's and St Andrew's. There is now a
mission chapel of St Conan on Loch Awe.

Inishail. — The church of Inishail was
dedicated to St Findoch. This seems
to be St Findeach of Ath Duiru in
Ossory, but there was also a female saint
called Findocha. The church belonged to
the Abbey of Inchaffrey. The ancient
building, now ruined, stands on an island
in Loch Awe. The island contained also
a Cistercian Nunnery of St Findoch, but of
it there are now but scanty remains. The
church of Inishail has been rebuilt upon
the mainland.]

KILCHRENAN AND DALAVICH.

[The passing of the Act Rescissory in 1661
caused the union of these two parishes.
Each of them still retains its own church.
Until 1729 the united parishes were in the
Presb. of Inveraray, but, on the 12th of
May in that year, they were transferred to
the Presb. of Lorn.

Kilchrenan or Kildachanan. — The church
of Kilchrenan belonged to the Abbey of
Paisley. Of old it was dedicated to the
Irish Saint Chreathanan. This, however,
was superseded by a late dedication to
St Peter the Deacon, a martyr of Antioch.
When Kilchrenan had come under the rule
of the Abbot of Paisley, it acquired the
additional name of Kildachanan (the
Church of the Canons). This, indeed, was

not an accurate style, for the monks of
Paisley were not Canons Regular but
Cluniacs. In the chapter of the Diocese of
Argyll, Kilchrenan formed the prebend of
the Dean. There was a chapel within the
bounds at Annat.

Dalavich. — The parish of Dalavich gets
its name (Bail an Amhaich = the Field of
the Neck) from the site of its old church
upon the narrow neck of land between
Loch Awe and Loch Avich. So far as can
be made out, it was in 1649 or 1650 that
Dalavich was disjoined from Kilchrenan.
The Act Rescissory annulled its erection in
1661, and then these two parishes were
united again.]

during the whole period of his life he was
never a day confined by sickness. A Manu-
script Diary of his father gives some curious
particulars as to M.'s settlement here. The
living is spoken of as one of the " best in
the county," though the stipend was barely
above £70. "This was competed for by
several ministers of figure, standing, and
with strong connections in that county, but
the application in favour of my poor lad
prevailed, and much of his success under
God was owing to the regard for his sister
Flora." He was a well-informed writer on
Scottish Music and a player on various
instruments. He marr. 28th Dec. 1757,

LISMORE, or KILMALUAG.

[This parish is made up of the island
of Lismore and the smaller islands adjoin-
ing it. When the Act Rescissory was passed
in 1661 it united the parishes of Appin,
Duror, and Glencoe or Eilean Munda, to
Lismore, from which they had at first been
taken. At various times they have all now
been severed again. St Luag, often called
Mo Luag, had the seat of his mission at
Lismore. He died in the year 592. To
him the ancient church of this parish
at Kilmaluag was dedicated. In Lismore
stood also the cathedral of the diocese of
Argyll, which still exists, though ruined in
part. It too was dedicated to St Luag.
The see of Argyll was founded in 1200 at
the instance of John Scott, Bishop of
Dunkeld, known as St John of Dunkeld.
The good bishop, finding himself unequal to
the oversight of his huge, unwieldy diocese,
obtained from the Pope the separation of
its more distant, western parts. The build-
ing of the cathedral at Lismore does not
appear to have been begun until 1236. It
was 137 feet in length. Like other churches
of large size, it fell much into decay during
the troubled times of the seventeenth
century. In 1749 its choir was restored to
form the church of the parish instead of
the small ancient building at Kilmaluag.
It is still in parochial use, and is fifty feet

long without aisles. The other parts of
the cathedral are now much ruined. The
Dean of Argyll was in old times rector of
Lismore. The Bishop of Argyll resided on
the island, at the Castle of Achanduin, of
which there are still considerable remains.
There were three chapels on Lismore,
St Kiaran's at Cill Chiarain, St John's at
Cill Iain, and St Andrews at Cill Anriais.
Another place of devout resort still keeps
the name of Ach net Croise (the Field of
the Cross). On the adjacent island of
Bernera stand the remains of another
chapel.]

[A church was first built at Muckairn
early in the thirteenth century, by
Harald, first Bishop of Argyll. Hence it
was called Cilleasbuig's Earaild (Bishop
Harald's Church). It became a mensal
church of the Bishop of Argyll. In 1618
the parishes of Ardchattan and Muckairn
were united. They were severed again in
1649, but in 1661 the Act Rescissory re-
pealed their disjunction, and Muckairn
was again joined to Ardchattan. In 1829
a parliamentary church was built for this
district, and on 9th Dec. 1846 the parish
of Muckairn was again disjoined quoad
sacra from Ardchattan. There were of
old two chapels within the bounds, St
Ronan's at Kilmaronaig and St Mary's
at Kilvorie.]

PKESBYTEEY OF MULL

[Donald Munro, Dean of Lismore, writing in 1549, tells us that there were then seven
parishes in Mull. Among the seven he counts the two island parishes of Iona and Ulva,
along with the five parochial charges of Kilninian, Kilmore, Torosay, Kilfinichen, and
Kilvicheoan on the mainland of Mull. In 1626, however, Thomas Knox, Bishop of the
Isles, reported that the whole of Mull, with the lesser islands about it, was at that time
administered as if one parish under the care of three ministers. The three were Ewan
MacLean, parson of Killean or Torosay, John Campbell, and Ninian MacMiilan. Until
1726 all these parishes formed part of the Presbytery of Lorn. On the 12th of May in
that year the General Assembly erected the Presbytery of Mull, and fixed its seat at Aros.
The Presbytery Eegister begins 9th Aug. 1729. There is a gap in the record from
Sept. 1735 to 19th April 1737. This is due to an outbreak of fire at Strontian, where the
Presbytery Clerk resided. This part of the Eegister was burned along with the house.
Another gap reaches from 28th April 1741 to 7th March 1744. The ordinary meetings of
Presbytery are now held at Salen during the winter months, and at Tobermory
in summer.]

ARDNAMURCHAN AND
EILEAN FINAIN.

[These two parishes were united in or
about 1614. At the same time Arisaig was
joined with them, but it was severed again
in 1919. There are still two churches, the
one at Kilchoan and the other at Kilmorie.

Ardnamurchan. — The church of Ardna-
murchan was dedicated to St Coan. There
was a chapel of St Mary at Kilmorie. At
Tobar Fhinain there was a Well of St
Finain, and at Tobar Cholmcill there was
one dedicated to St Columba. There is
now a mission chapel at Achosnich.

Eilean Finain. — This parish is named
from the island of St Finan in Loch Shiel.
Upon it the ancient parish church still
stands in ruin. It is about seventy-six feet
long, and was dedicated to St Finan.]

DONALD OMEY, was min. at 12th Feb.
1624. Andrew Boyd, Bishop of
Argyll, " having special care to have
kirks plantit with learned and godlie men

1624

of good lyffe and conversation, for this effect
plantit and placed the said Mr Donald, who
is ane learned, modest, and good teacher."
The Bishop hoped that the adjacent
chief would have respected him, but on
a Sunday while O. was preaching, "thair
cam a young man into the kirk in the
middle of the preatching, armed with a
sword, a targe, and a hagbuit, and verie
rudlie, with an awful and fierce counten-
ance, addreist himself to the minister,
handing a letter from the chieftain of
Clanranald intimating that the minister
sould with all convenient diligence reteirr
himself from those boundes, and have him
hame, utherwayes it sould coast him his
lyffe. " O. therefore "was constraynd for
the sauftie of his lyffe instantlie to go
away." — [Beg. Sec. Sig., xiii., 427 ; Craven's

DUNCAN M'CALMAN, was min. of
Kilchoan and Eilean Finain when

1623

the teinds were valued 16th and 17th
Aug. 1629. It is said that when he came
to the parish his congregation consisted
entirely of his own household and the
beadle, and this too when at the end of
the church there was congregated a crowd
to "putt the stane." Suiting himself to
the circumstances, he took the opportunity
of joining in their favourite pastime, and
being a strongly built powerful man,
he soon matched the best of them. By
this expedient he secured their interest,
gained their affection, and in course of
time rilled his church. He was dep. in
1644 for complicity with the notorious
Alasdair Macdonald, young Collciotach,
and was excommunicated 1st May 1650,
but this sentence was removed by the
Presb. after 10th July 1672, and he was
restored to his parish. He probably died
shortly afterwards. — [Teinds Valuation

June 1840, disapproved of the Presbytery's
action and cited them to appear for censure
at the bar of the Commission on 13th Aug.,
at the same time citing M. to appear before
next Assembly, with certification that if he
failed to appear, " he shall he holden, in the
event of the leave being rescinded or his
not returning previously, as having deserted
his charge." Nine members of Presbytery
compeared, when after an explanatory speech
by the Moderator, John Macleod, min. of
Morven, the Commission found that there

[The church of Coll was dedicated to

parish of Coll was disjoined quoad omnia
from Kirkapol and Sorobie. There were
of old two chapels in Coll, St Bride's at
Cill Bride and St Kenneth's at Cill
Choinnich.]

the army, born 23rcl April 1751, died at
sea, coming from New York ; Margaret,
born 28th July 1752 (marr. Alexander
Maclean of Mingary). Describing his visit
to Coll in 1773, Dr Samuel Johnson wrote :
" We called on Mr Hector Maclean, the
minister of Coll, whom we found in a hut,
that is, a house of only one floor, but with
windows and chimney, and not inelegantly
furnished. Mr M. has the reputation for
great learning ; he is seventy-seven years
old, but not infirm, with a look of venerable
dignity excelling what I remember in any
other man. His conversation was not un-
suitable to his appearance. I lost some of
his goodwill by treating a heretical writer
with more regard than, in his opinion, a
heretic could deserve. I honoured his
orthodoxy, and did not much censure his
asperity. A man who has settled his
opinions does not love to have the tran-
quillity of his conviction disturbed ; and
at seventy-seven it is time to be in earnest.
. . . He has no public edifice for the
exercise of his ministry, and can officiate
to no greater number than a room can
contain, and the room of a hut is not
very large. This is all the opportunity
of worship that is now granted to the
inhabitants of the islands, some of whom
must travel thither perhaps ten miles. Two
chapels were erected by their ancestors, of
which I saw the skeletons, which now stand
faithful witnesses of the triumph of the
Preformation." — [Clan Gillean, 334 ; A
Journey to the Western Isles.]

HEYLIPOL, or SOROBIE (Q.S.).

[Tiree was divided of old between two
parishes. Of these, Kirkapol included all
the north-eastern part of the island, while
the south-west formed the parish of Sorobie.
On 31st July 1618 the three parishes of
Kirkapol, Sorobie, and Coll were united.
During the nineteenth century a chapel for
the southern part of Tiree was built at
Heylipol, a more accessible site than
Sorobie. On 15th Feb. 1875 the parish of
Heylipol, or Sorobie, was severed again from
Kirkapol. There were within the bounds
of Sorobie two chapels, St Kenneth's at
Cill Choinnich, and St Luag's at Cill Mo
Luaig. Ruins of both still exist. There
are now mission chapels at Cornaig and
Balevullin.]

ICHOLUMKILL, or IONA (Q.S.).

[In the year 563 St Columba came to this
island, then called I or Hi, and here he
founded his monastery. In later times
Icholumkill formed a parish, with its
church dedicated to St Ronan. Of that
building the traces are now but scanty.
Early in the seventeenth century the three
parishes of Kilfinichen, Kilvicheoan, and
Icholumkill were united. In 1828 a parlia-

mull]

ICHOLUMKILL

111

mentary chapel was built in Iona. On
11th June 1845 the parish of Iona or
Icholumkill was again disjoined from Kil-
finichen and Kilvicheoan. In the parish
thus erected of new is included, along with
the island of Icholumkill, the Eoss of Mull,
a considerable part of the mainland of that
large island.

Besides the ancient parish church, still
known as Teampull Ronain, there were in
Iona various other church buildings, most
of which are now ruined. Oldest of these
is the very early Norman church of Team-
pull Odhrain, a roofless structure about 40
feet long. In its old-world churchyard, the
Relig Odhrain, lie unnumbered generations
of the great and the faithful. A space by
itself contains the tombs of the kings, in
which are buried forty-eight kings, Pictish
and Scottish, who reigned in ancient Alban.
Beside them are laid four Irish kings and
eight of those Norse princes, all more or
less vassals of the kings of Norway, who,
ruling in our western shires, laid claim to
the royal title. Here, too, were laid to rest
the Fathers of the Scottish Church, and the
martyred monks who, like St Blathmac,
fell time after time beneath the axes of
Scandinavian pirates. Near St Oran's
stands the noble church of St Mary, given
back to the Church of Scotland by the
statesman George, Duke of Argyll, and now
finely restored. It was originally the
church of the Tironensian Abbey of
Icholumkill, founded near the end of the
twelfth century by Ranald, Lord of the
Isles. About 1506 this church came into
the hands of the bishops of the Isles, and
became the cathedral of their diocese.
Close to it are the ruins of the nunnery of
St Mary, founded about 1200 by the same
Lord Ranald of the Isles. It was built for
Benedictine nuns, but, after a time, passed
into the possession of the Cistercian Order.
The modern parish church of Iona occupies
the site of an ancient chapel of St Kenneth.
There is now within the bounds, in the
Ross of Mull, a mission chapel of St Ernan.]

TIREE, or KIRKAPOL.

[In the sixth century St Breandan built
a church at Kirkapol in the north-east of
Tiree. The ruins of a later parish church,
over thirty-five feet in length, still mark its
site. After a time Tiree was divided into
two parishes. Of these, Kirkapol contains
all the north-eastern portion of the island,
and the south - western part forms the
parish of Sorobie. On 31st July 1618 the
three parishes of Kirkapol, Sorobie, and
Coll were united. On 11th March 1865
Coll was severed from the two parishes in
Tiree. On 15th February 1875 Heylipol or
Sorobie was disjoined from Kirkapol, the

only remaining portion of the former
united parishes of Tiree. "Within the
bounds of Kirkapol there were three chapels.
The ruins of that of St Oran at Cladh
Odhrain near Kirkapol still stand. The
other chapels were St Bride's at Cill Bhride,
and St Finain's at Cill Fhinain.]

William, Duke of Argyll, Sept. 1814 ; ord.
27th April 1815. Being in feeble health
he left the island without leave being given
by the Presb., and went to reside at
Ayr. On 6th June 1815 he was ordered
back to his parish. A letter from him,
dated 11th July, explained that the state
of his health forbade such a step, and
that under the circumstances the patron
had appointed an assistant and successor.
On 7th Nov. he was again enjoined to
return, but again declined, stating, however,
that he had arranged for the pastoral
duties to be carried on until his successor
was admitted. On revising the proceedings
of the Presb., the Synod, on 7th Aug.
1816, recorded their high disapprobation of
the conduct of the Presb., particularly
for proceeding in such ordination and
admission without requiring a certificate
from the Presb. in whose bounds M. had
resided, which was the more necessary in
his case as it was publicly reported and
generally believed that he had for many
years before been in orders of the Church
of England. The Presb. was rebuked. M.
had never been present as a member of
the Court. He died at Ayr 21st March
1816, four months before the meeting of
Synod. [See Hew Scott, vol. iii., 90, for

SYNOD OF PERTH AND STIRLING

The Synod Register begins at the 10th of April 1639. There are gaps in the

to 15th April 1755, and from 16th April 1804 to 19th April 1808.

PRESBYTERY OF DUNKELD

[The setting up of a Presbytery of Dunkeld was under consideration of the General
Assembly in 1581. The Presbytery Register, however, does not begin till 2nd Nov. 1681.
From 3rd July 1689 to 29th Oct. 1706 this Court was united to the Presbytery of Perth.
There is, therefore, during that time no separate Record of the Presbytery of Dunkeld. In
1651 those members of this Court who belonged to the party of the Protesters formed
themselves into a separate Protester Presbytery of Dunkeld. That Protester Presbytery
lasted for some years, but no Record of its proceedings is known to exist.]

AUCHTERGAVEN AND LOGIE-
BR1DE.

[These parishes were first united in 1618.
They were severed again in 1632, but were

Auchtergaven. — On the lands of Tully-
beagles, within the bounds, there are the
scanty remains of an ancient church build-
ing. Near it is a holy well. The name
Tullybeagles may, perhaps, be Tidach na
h-eaglais = The hill of the Church. There
is a mission chapel within the parish at
Waterloo.

Logie-Bride. — The church of this parish
was dedicated to St Bride. It still stands
roofless in the old churchyard. Near it
was St Bride's Well.]

DUNKELD AND DOWALLIE.

[These parishes were united before the
middle of the seventeenth century.

Dunkeld. — From a very early time
Dunkeld was the seat of a richly en-
dowed Celtic Abbey. Like other well-
known monasteries of that period, the
Abbey of Dunkeld fell ultimately under
the sway of a powerful landed family,
whose chiefs succeeded one another as
hereditary abbots. Notable among these
lay abbots of Dunkeld was Creathanan
Mac Dhonochaidh, who married Beathag,
the elder daughter of King Malcolm II.
Their son Duncan came to the throne
upon the death of his grandfather Malcolm,
and his son Malcolm III. made good his
title to the royal inheritance in 1057.
Since then all the Kings of Scotland have
sprung from the line of Creathanan the
Abbot. Alexander I., the eighth son of
Malcolm III., succeeded to the Crown in
1107, and in that year he converted the
Abbey of Dunkeld into a bishopric, making
Cormac, the then ruling Abbot, its first
bishop. The vicarage of Dunkeld was,
until the time of the Reformation, a very
small parish. Its parochial bounds reached
but a short way beyond the limits of the

154

DUNKELD

[presb. or

little cathedral town. There was, more-
over, no parish church. In the cathedral
were held all the church services of the
parish. This may possibly have been, at
least in part, a surviving usage of those
early times when Dunkeld was under the
rule of a great abbot, and the government
of the Scottish Church was still in some
degree monastic. The cathedral stands on
a beautiful site, on the left bank of the
Tay, close to the river. In 1560 it was
made the church of the parish. It is
224 feet in length ; but the nave has long
been roofless. The choir, tower, and
chapter-house are complete. At the be-
ginning of the twentieth century the
choir was finely restored by Sir Donald
Currie of Garth, Bart., K.C.M.G. In the
square chapter-house on the north side of
the church the Duke of Atholl has a burial-
place. There are a number of monuments
in various parts of the building, some of
them very fine. St Columba is the patron,
as he was of old of the Celtic Abbey ; and
St Columba's Well was hard by, close to the
river bank. Besides the high altar of St
Columba, there were, in the cathedral,
shrines of the Holy Rood, St Mary, the
Holy Innocents, St John the Baptist, All
Saints, St Michael, St Andrew, St Ninian,
St Martin, St Nicholas, St Stephen, and
St Katherine. In the town of Dunkeld,
Robert of Cardney, one of the bishops,
built a chapel of St Ninian in 1420. In
1510 Bishop George Broun also founded
there a hospital of St George. Besides
these, Dunkeld had a chapel of the Holy
Trinity. On St Columba's day the town
kept a yearly fair in honour of the
patron saint.

Doioallie. — In early times St Muireach
made Dowallie the seat of his mission
work among the Picts. The country
tradition has not ceased to tell of the
many pilgrims who used to visit his holy
well near the church. In 1500 Bishop
Broun rebuilt the ancient chapel of St
Muireach, and gave the new building the
name of St Anne. In that year, too, the
bishop disjoined the parish of Dowallie
from Caputh. It was then also that the
well beside the churchyard was dedicated

to St Anne, so that Dowallie had two
holy wells. At Guay, within the bounds,
a hospital was founded in 1340. Farther
north, at Dalcapon, there was a chapel
with its sacred well. At the Crues Hill,
near Dunkeld, but in this parish, a well
of the Holy Rood was much frequented on
the first Sunday in May. The church of
Dowallie was restored in 1818, and is now
in use as a mission chapel.]

DULL.

[The parish church was dedicated to St
Ninian, and prior to the Reformation
belonged to the Priory of St Andrews.
From a very early time there was at Dull
a great Celtic monastery. Like other
foundations of that kind, it fell under the
sway of a powerful landed family, and its
government was more or less hereditary.
The wide estate which its abbots thus held
is still called the Appin (Abbot's Lands) of
Dull. Part of the old monastic property
also bears the name of Dalmonach (The
Monk's Field). In the twelfth century
this ancient abbey, like others, was con-
verted by the Crown into a Tironensian
Priory. Its patron was always St Adam-
nan, and St Adamnan's Well was at the
Priory. The parish church had, beside it,
a Well of St Ninian. An important yearly
market held at Dull was called Feill Eonain
(Adamnan's Fair). The parish of Fincastle,
now named Tenandry, was united to Dull
in the seventeenth century, but was dis-
joined again in 1851.]

KENMORE, of old INISADAIN.

[The ancient church of this parish was
dedicated to St Aidan. Its site at Inis-
adain (Aidan's Meadow), on the north bank
of the Tay, is now within the grounds of
Taymouth Castle. At Kenmore, to which
place the church has been moved, there
was long held a Fair of St Peter. A
parish church was built at Kenmore in
1579, but the old church was used
occasionally until 1760, when the manse
was removed from Inisadain. On the
island of Ealean Adain (Aidan's Isle), near
the east end of Loch Tay and not far
from Kenmore, there was an early Celtic
monastic foundation. At this place, on
the 12th of July 1122, Queen Sibyl, wife
of Alexander I., died suddenly. At Ealean
Adain she was buried, and forthwith King

is:

KENMORE

[PKESB. OF

Alexander renewed the ancient foundation,
making it, however, an Augustinian Priory.
He then, for the good of his own soul and
that of his departed queen, bestowed Ealean
Adain on the Abbey of Scone, of which it
became a cell. At Carwhyn, in this parish,
there is a mission chapel.]

[DUGALD BUCHANAN, Royal Bounty
catechist, born Ardoch, Balquhidder,
1716, son of John B., farmer and
miller, and Janet Ferguson (a relative of
Rob Roy) ; educated at the S.P.C.K. School,
Balquhidder, and at Stirling. He began
life as a carpenter at Kippen. In 1742 he
came under the influence of the preaching
of George Whitefield, and spent much of
his time in religious meditation and the
writing of sacred verse. In 1751 he taught
a side school at Drumcastle, in the parish,
and in 1755 became schoolmaster at Kin-
loch-Rannoch, being appointed also to the
post of catechist. He had remarkable in-
fluence as an evangelist. It is said that
two clans who were at deadly feud assem-
bled to hear him preach : he spoke from a
rock in the middle of the river Gaur, which
separated the rival parties, and pled so
earnestly with his audience that the people,
overcome with emotion, rushed into the
stream and embraced one another, and
from that day forward a " truce of God "
existed between the two clans. In the
General Assembly of 1761 it was reported
that " the country of Rannoch from being
possessed by the most lawless and thievish
people, is now becoming greatly civilised,
and no thefts or robberies are heard of
among the inhabitants, 2000 in number."
He assisted James Stuart, min. of Killin,
in publishing the first edition of the Gaelic
New Testament. For this purpose he went
to Edinburgh — to supervise the printing —
and while there he took classes in the
University and founded the first Gaelic
congregation in the city. A movement was
set on foot for his ordination, but the
Presb. refused consent. While attending
to his wife and family, who had been
stricken with an epidemic fever at Ran-
noch, he caught the infection and died
2nd June 1768. He was buried at Little
Leny, Balquhidder. On 17th Nov. 1875 a
handsome monument was erected to his
memory at Kinloch-Rannoch. Known as
the "Cowper of the Highlands," B.'s
poetical genius was of the first order, and
some of his poems — "The Day of Judg-
ment," " The Dream," " The Skull," " The
Sufferings of Christ," and "Winter,"

gave £1200 to the Society for Propagating
Christian Knowledge for maintenance of a
missionary and a Manse, and John, Earl
of Breadalbane, granted certain lands for
the same purpose. In 1843 the church was
retained by the Free Church. The church
was rebuilt and dedicated 29th Aug. 1880.

WEEM.

[The church of Weem was dedicated to
St Cuthbert, and beside it was St Cuth-
bert's Well. The quaint old church still
stands, but is used now only as a place of
burial. There are some very interesting
monuments in it. Besides the church, there
was at Weem a famous Chapel of St David,
a local hermit, whose cave and holy well
were frequented by pilgrims. The yearly
tryst of Weem was called in his honour,
Feill Dhaidh (David's Fair). On 5th July
1921 a decree transporting the church to
a building formerly used as an Episcopal
Chapel was pronounced by Court of Teinds.]

PRESBYTERY OF PERTH

[The erection of a Presbytery of Perth was under the consideration of the General
Assembly as early as April 1581. The Presbytery Register, however, does not now
begin till 22nd April 1618. There are gaps in the Record from 27th March 1661 to
29th Oct. 1662, and from 21st Sept. 1681 to 30th July 1690. An earlier volume than any
of those extant began in 1595. It was in the hands of the Presbytery Clerk on
15th March 1626, but no trace of it can now be found.]

ABERDALGIE AND DUPPLIN.

[These parishes were united in 1618.

Aberdalgie. — This was one of several
parishes in which, for some years after
1560, the Romanist party was able to keep
possession of the church, and to make it
impossible to hold Protestant services.

Dupplin. — In 1564 it was reported to the
Secret Council that the kirk of the Rectory
of Dupplin was kept closed, so that the
Reformed worship could not be held there.]

[The church of Abernethy was dedicated
to St Bride. It belonged to the Abbey
of Arbroath. In 1460 George, Earl of
Angus, granted to this church a collegiate
endowment. From early Pictish times
Abernethy was the seat of a great Celtic
Abbey. The high, round tower of this
monastery, standing by itself in the church-
yard, and looking over the church, is one
of our most interesting early buildings.
In 1273 the abbey was converted into an
Augustinian Priory, and was made a Cell
of Inchaffray, retaining, however, its ancient
dedication to St Bride. There is in this
parish a Well of St Breandan.]

PERTH, ST JOHN'S.

[St John's, Perth, called for a time the
parish of St Johnstoun. — The church of
Perth was dedicated to St John the Baptist,
and the town itself was long known as St
Johnstoun. Its ancient Celtic name of
Perth was then seldom heard except among
those who spoke Gaelic. The church
belonged to the Abbey of Dunfermline.
Prior to 1603, Perth was a favourite place
of royal residence. Its name is often seen
on the pages of Scottish history. In this
prominence St John's Church has a share.
In 1296 the English king, Edward I.,
stayed for some time at Perth. On St
John's Day in Harvest, he was one of the
worshippers in the church.

In medieval times, Perth was long the
chief seat of monastic life and influence in
Scotland. The friars in especial had
much power there. In Perth, as elsewhere
during the sixteenth century, popular
feeling came to be keenly hostile to the
friars. Thus Perth was made a battle-
ground of the Reformation struggle. In
1407, James Resby, an English priest, and
probably a refugee from the rising Lollard
persecution in England, was tried for
heresy and burned at Perth. On one day
in 1544, five of the citizens of St Johnstoun,
and the wife of one of them, were executed
there as heretics, the men being hanged
and the woman drowned. So the strife
was kept up. On the 10th of May 1559 it
came to a head. In St John's Church that

PERTH]

morning, a sermon on image worship and
other prevalent religious practices was
preached by John Knox. His hearers
were moved indeed, but the service came
quietly to an end, and the preacher went
his way. Later in the day, during a service
before one of the altars of the church,
some brawling took place. Quickly a riot
arose, and the church furnishings were
badly damaged. Forthwith the outbreak
spread throughout the town, and was
turned with great violence against the
friars. Thus, as from a chance spark,
there was kindled in Perth a flame that
soon set the whole land ablaze.

In 1618 the General Assembly met at
Perth. Some of its meetings, probably
all of them, were held in St John's
Church.

Here, as in other Scottish towns, the
population has grown greatly, and more
or less steadily, since the middle of the
sixteenth century. In 1595 this growth
led to the erection of a Second Charge in
the ministry of Perth. But the burden of
a prosperous community went on growing.
Therefore it was proposed to erect the land-
ward district of Perth into a separate
parish. In 1651, however, when this
scheme had been fully matured, the Town
Council found itself compelled to delay
further action in the matter "because of
the troubles of the times." The subject
was taken up again in 1693, and at later
dates, but without reaching a practical
result. On 14th February 1715 action of
another kind was taken. The Town
Council, " because of the growing numbers
of the inhabitants of the town and parish,"
resolved that a Third Charge should be
erected. This was carried out, and William
Wilson was appointed minister. No endow-
ment was raised for the purpose, but
the stipend was provided by a yearly
payment from the city funds. In 1740
Mr Wilson ceased to be a minister of the
Church of Scotland, and in 1741 the Town
Council, alleging that a third minister of
Perth was no longer needed, withdrew its
grant for payment of the stipend. In lieu
of the minister of the Third Charge, an
ordained assistant to the incumbents of

the First and Second Charges was main-
tained by the Kirk-session, and so the work
of the parish was carried on.

During the eighteenth century the need
of accommodation for the worshipping
parishioners grew more and more urgent.
As a sort of stop-gap, in 1715 St John's
Church was partitioned off into two places
of worship, termed the Old and the New
Churches. When these failed to hold the
people, the ancient church was further
divided into three parts, called the East,
the Middle, and the West Churches. The
method adopted for public worship was
curious. Each of the three ministers, in
turn, conducted service successively in each
of the three churches. Thus a constant
rotation of ministry was kept up. This
system lasted till 1806. Then, because of
the growing number of those for whom no
room could be found in St John's, the
Town Council resolved to suppress the
Second Charge, to build a new church, and
to call a fourth minister. Accordingly, St
Paul's Church was built in 1807. The Second
Charge having come to an end, three new
parochial districts were taken off St John's
Parish. These were the Middle Parish, the
West Parish, and St Paul's. The eastern
part of the ancient church was left in
the possession of the remaining portion of
St John's Parish. This included a great
part of the city, with all the large landward
district. It has come to be commonly
called the East Parish of Perth.

St John's Church is a building worthy of
its historic parish. It is rather less than
200 feet long, but of old it was somewhat
larger. There were many altars in it,
including shrines of the Holy Trinity, the
Holy Name, St Mary, St Joseph, St
Gabriel, St Michael, St Peter, St Bartholo-
mew, St Nicholas, St Eloi, St Ninian, St
Duthac, St Tridwal, St Erasmus, St Crispin,
St Crispinian, St Severus, St Blaise, St
Bride, St Mungo, St Laurence, St John

PERTH, ST JOHN'S

[PllESB. OF

Magdalene, St Barbara, St Denys, and
St Christopher.

Medieval Perth was in great measure a
town of priests and monks. The oldest
and most famous of its convents was the
House of the Black Friars, founded in
1231 by King Alexander II. It was built
a short way outside the walls, and was
dedicated to St John and St James. It
was much favoured as a royal residence.
There were times too when the king's
enemies occupied it. It was in the House
of the Black Friars, on the 24th of July
1291, that Edward I. of England received
the homage of the city of Perth, and of the
chief men of the country round. In this
religious house, on the 21st of February
1437, King James I. was murdered. There
were notable monuments in its church over
those who lay buried there, among them the
tomb of Elizabeth Mure, the first wife of
Robert II. In that church, too, there were
chapels of St John the Evangelist and St
Nicholas. Some way off, but also close
to the city walls, stood the Priory of the
Charterhouse, founded in 1429 by James I.
and his Queen Joanna Beaufort. They
both were buried in its church. There too,
in 1541, were laid the remains of Queen
Margaret Tudor, widow of James IV.
With the exception of the small Priory of
Mackerston, this great monastery was the
only convent of the Carthusians in Scotland.
After the quaint manner of their Order,
they termed it the House of the Valley of
Virtue. On the other side of Perth, but
just outside of the town, and by the side
of the Tay, stood the House of the Grey
Friars, founded in 1460 by Laurence, first
Lord Oliphant. In accordance with the
strict rules of the Observantine Branch of
the Order, to which it belonged, it was
quite a plain building, and was of but
moderate size. A larger and more ornate
edifice was the House of the White Friars,
built by Alexander III. in 1262. It was
placed at Tullilum in the landward part of
the parish, and was less than a mile from
Perth.

There were also in this parish, partly in
the town and partly outside of it, various
religious houses of a smaller kind. At the

end of the Bridge of Perth, on the town
side of the Tay, was the chapel of St Mary.
It was already there in 1210. Outside the
town, and about a mile to the south of it,
stood the Hospital of St Magdalene,
worked by a little community of nuns.
Nearer Perth was St Leonard's Hospital
and Priory, a Cistercian House. Not far
from it stood the chapel of St Laurence.
Between it and St John's Church there
was the Hospital of St Anne. In the
heart of the city stood the chapel of the
Holy Rood. There too was St Paul's
Hospital, built in 1434. On the north side
of Perth, at the place called the Claypots,
stood the Hospital of St Katherine and
the chapel of Our Lady of Loretto, in
which were altars of St Nicholas and St
Katherine.

To keep in mind the birth of its patron
saint, Perth held the fair of St John in
Harvest. By the fair of Midsummer Day
it commemorated his martyrdom. So far
back as 1442, the Midsummer Tryst was a
leading event of the year. Four other
fairs were annually observed — Our Lady
Day in Lentron, being the Feast of the
Annunciation, Palm Sunday, Andrew mas
Fair, and the Tryst of St Denys.

On 27th Oct. 1921, a summons was pre-
sented to the Court of Teinds by the Lord.
Provost, Magistrates, and Councillors of
Perth as heritors of the parish, in which
they stated that it is highly expedient that
the Church of St John should be restored,
and they outlined a scheme whereby the
existing parishes, East, Middle, and West,
should be disjoined and erected into two
parishes — namely, the parish of St John
and the parish of St Mark. The former
is to embrace the building known as the
Church of St John the Baptist, and the
latter the existing Chapel of Ease, St
Mark's Church.

The existing East, Middle, and West
Churches will be combined into one church
in the present building as restored, and the
present ministers of the East and Middle
parishes will become the ministers of St
John's Parish, while the present minister of
the West Church will become the first
minister of St Mark's Parish.]

JOHN ROW, born "in a landward
roume called Row," near Dunblane,
about 1526 ; educated at the Gram-
mar School of Stirling and St Leonard's
College, St Andrews, where he matriculated
in 1544 ; M.A. ; studied Canon Law and
practised as an advocate in the Consistory
Court of St Andrews ; app. in 1550 agent
for the Scottish clergy at Rome, where he
remained seven or eight years ; Licentiate
of Laws (20th Feb. 1556), and LL.D.
Padua. The fame of his talents and learn-
ing led to his intimacy with Pope Paul
IV. and some of the cardinals, and would
probably have led to his promotion ; but
owing to ill-health he was compelled to
return to Scotland, when he was appointed
nuncio to investigate the causes of the
Reformation and to devise means for check-
ing its progress. He reached Eyemouth on
29th Sept. 1558, but finding himself unable
to fulfil his injunctions, returned to Rome
before 11th May 1559. After a short resi-
dence there, he came back by persuasion of
James, Prior of St Andrews, afterwards
Earl of Moray, and having seen the false-
hood and imposition of a pretended miracle
at St Allaret's Chapel, Musselburgh, he
joined the Reformers. He was adm. to
Kennoway in April 1560, before the Re-
formation was fully established ; was one
of six min. appointed by the Lords of
the Congregation for "writing in a book
their judgments touching the Reforma-
tion of religion." These appeared in the
Confession of Faith and First Book
of Discipline ; trans, (by consent of the
General Congregation of Edinburgh) 17th

1576, and 11th June 1578; died 16th
Oct. 1580, at which time he held the
vicarages of Twynholm and Terregles
in Galloway. He was " a cautious and
prudent reformer, of moderate views,

benevolent disposition, and amiable and
winning manners, a wise and grave father,
of good literature according to the time."

1114. It was then re-dedicated of new
to the Holy Trinity, St Mary, St
Michael, St John, St Laurence, and St
Augustine. In early times Scone was a
Pictish stronghold. In its Abbey Pictish
Kings and their Scottish successors of the
race of Kenneth MacAlpin were proclaimed,
and invested with sovereign power. At a
later date, when Macbeth and Lulach
had both been overthrown, Malcolm III.

was crowned at Scone on 25th April
1058. The following among his successors
were likewise crowned at Scone— Malcolm
IV., William the Lion, Alexander II.,
Alexander III., John Baliol, Robert the
Bruce, Edward Baliol, Robert II., Robert
III., James I., James IV., and Charles II.
Many meetings of Parliament and other
royal functions were held at Scone Abbey.
Here long reposed the famous stone Lia
Fail, now at Westminster. In the Abbey
Church King Robert II. was buried on
13th Aug. 1390. A new church was built
at New Scone in 1804-5. It is constructed
almost entirely from the material of a
church erected only twenty years before,
the stones marked and numbered as they
were taken down, being put up in the same
order. The oak pew of the Scone family,
bearing the date 1616, was brought from
Holland, and upon it Charles II. was
crowned in 1651.

There is now in the parish of Scone a
mission chapel of St David.]

PRESBYTERY OF AUCHTERARDER

[In April 1581 the General Assembly had under consideration a proposal to erect at
Crieff a Presbytery for this district. In 1593, however, we find the court seated at
Dunblane. In that year the Assembly caused it to be removed to Auchterarder. In the
seventeenth century the place of meeting was changed to Muthill ; but, after a few years,
the court was brought back to Auchterarder. The Register of Presbytery begins at
29th April 1668. There is a gap in the Record from 7th Sept. 1687 to 9th Nov. 1703.
It is believed that some of the earlier Records of the Presbytery may yet exist in private
hands.]

AUCHTERARDER AND
ABERUTHVEN.

[These parishes were united about the
beginning of the seventeenth century.

Auchterarder. — The church of Auchter-
arder, founded in 1200, was dedicated to
St Kessog. It belonged to the Abbey of
Inchaffray. The old parish church, now
ruined, is a building over 80 feet in length.
Beside it is St Kessog's Well. There was
of old, in the town of Auchterarder, a
chapel of St Mary. It has been rebuilt,
and is now the parish church. Beside the
old church a fair of St Kessog was long
held on 10th March.

Aberuthven. — The church of Aberuthven
was dedicated to St Catan, whose festival
was held on 17th May. It belonged to the
Abbey of Inchaffray, but later to the Abbey
of Arbroath. The old church, now roofless,
and partly ruined, is over 65 feet long.]

[A fair of St Laurence was held at
Monzie, and it is believed that the parish
church was dedicated to him. Monzie was
a prebend of Dunblane. In September, on
Our Lady Day in Harvest, a fair of St
Mary was held here. In this parish are
still to be seen the very scanty ruins of the
collegiate church of St Mary at Inner-
peffray. That church was built before
1342. Its collegiate foundation was granted
by John, first Lord Drummond, in 1508.
There are ancient burial-grounds in the
parish of Monzie at Tomanbowie and at
Stuck. In both there were chapels of old,
but these have long since fallen down.]

under a hearthstone in the house. Exe-
cuted at Crieff soon after 6th June 1682,
aged about 35 ; a reprieve arrived twenty
minutes afterwards. This is believed to be
the historical fact underlying the well-
known popular rhyme, erroneously attri-

" O what a parish, sic a terrible parish,
O what a parish is that of Kinkell !
They hae hangit the minister, drooned the precentor,
Dang doon the steeple, and drucken the bell."

Tradition asserts that the precentor was
accidentally drowned while trying to ford
the Earn at Kinkell. The bell of the church,
for some reason, was sold, and not long
since was found to be in possession of the
church of Cockpen. — [P.C. Acta, 4th May

when suspicion arose that payment of the
deposits was doubtful, and a run on his
funds seemed probable, he contrived to
have his room ranged round with pewter
stoups, apparently filled with gold and
silver coins, so that the first who called
with his demand, being immediately paid
and seeing the apparent abundance of
funds, begged the minister to retain his
money for him, and on leaving circulated
the report that there were ample funds in
store, which prevented further annoyance.

ST NINIANS, FORMERLY

EAGLAIS NINIAN.

[Called of old Eaglais Niniain. The
church of this parish was dedicated to
St Ninian. It belonged to the Abbey of
Cambuskenneth. There is a Well of St
Ninian in the parish. It was mainly
within the bounds of St Ninians that the
Battle of Bannockburn was fought in 1314.
Here too, in 1448, took place a great part
of the contest at the Battle of Sauchieburn.
When King James III. fled from that field,
his horse threw him at Milton in this
parish, and there he was assassinated. In
1511 Matthew, Earl of Lennox, the Kegent
ruling for his grandson, James VI., fell in
fight at Newhouse, within the bounds of
St Ninians. In 1746 Prince Charles
Edward's troops stored munitions in St
Ninians Church. When compelled to
retire, they blew up the building, of which
the tower only escaped destruction. The
church was rebuilt hard by on a new site,
where it still stands apart from the tower.
This parish contained of old four chapels,
at St Ninian's Well, Skeoch, Cambusbarron,
and the Kirk o' Muir. Near the chapel at
the Kirk o' Muir is the Priests' Croft.
Close to Stirling, but in St Ninians Parish,
stood a House of the Black Friars. At

Buckieburn, within the bounds, there is
a mission chapel.]

THE ROOD KIRK— EAST CHURCH

STIRLING.

THE ROOD KIRK.

[The fine parish church of the Holy Rood
at Stirling was built in 1500, to replace
the church of St Modan, which had been
burned down. It is about 200 feet long,
but is sadly marred internally by a wall
which screens off the western part of the
building. A Second Charge was secured
for the parish of Stirling in 1607. In 1656
the church was divided into two parts,
each of which was fitted up as a separate
place of worship. In 1731 a Third Charge
was founded. This led to the growth of
a third congregation, and, in 1840, the
North Church was built for the services of
the Third Charge.

There is an early record of a church built
at Stirling by St Monenna, but it is not
likely that it was a stone building. In
1463, when James III. was King, the
Hospital of St James was erected at the
Stirling end of the bridge over the Forth.
Near the bridge, somewhat later, was built
a chapel of St Roque. In James IV. 's time
Stirling acquired another hospital, which
still exists. It attests the munificence of
Robert Spital, the King's tailor. During
the same reign, in 1494, a house of the
Grey Friars, dedicated to St Modan, was
established in the town. King James IV.
lived much at Stirling, and it was he who
set up one of its most notable foundations,
that of the Collegiate Church of the
Chapel Royal. It was dedicated to St
Mary and St Michael, and was famed for
its elaborate musical services. In the part
of this parish that lies on the left bank
of the Forth stand the ruins of St Mary's
Augustinian Abbey of Cambuskenneth.
It was founded by King David I. in 1147,
and had very wide possessions. Within
its church there were altars of St Ninian
and St Katherine. Of the Abbey buildings
little now remains but the church tower.
It is very complete. There is also an
interesting monument erected by Queen
Victoria to keep in mind her ancestors
James III. and his Queen, Margaret of
Denmark, who lie buried in the Abbey

1560

Church. There were many altars and shrines

NORTH, or Third Charge.

EBENEZER ERSKINE, born Dry-
17ql burgh, parish of Mertoun, Berwick-
shire, 22nd June (bapt. 24th July)
1680, fourth son of Henry E., min. of
Chirnside [of the Erskines of Shielfield,
Lauderdale, a direct descendant of Robert,
third Lord E., who fell at Flodden], by his
second wife, Margaret Halcro ; educated
at Univ. of Edinburgh 1693-1702; M.A.
(28th June 1697); tutor and chaplain at
Leslie House, Fife, in the family of John,
Earl of Rothes ; licen. by Presb. of Kirk-
caldy 11th Feb. 1703 ; ord. to Portmoak
22nd Sept. 1703. He joined with Boston
and ten other ministers in defence of the
Marrow doctrine, and signed a Representa-
tion to the General Assembly, 11th May
1721, against the Act of 1720, which had
condemned the Marrow. For this " the
twelve " were admonished by the Assembly,
21st May 1722. E. received calls to Burnt-
island in 1712, to Tulliallan in 1713, to
Kirkcaldy in 1724, and to Kinross in 1728,
but all were refused by the Church Courts ;
called to this charge 28th April, trans.
and adm. 8th July 1731. He disapproved
of an Act passed by the Assembly of 1732
anent the settlement of vacant charges,
wherein the right of popular election was
destroyed. As retiring Moderator of the
Synod of Stirling, 10th Oct. 1732, he
preached a sermon in which he maintained
the invalidity of such an Act, as " wanting
the authority of the Son of God." For so

doing he was censured by the Synod. His
appeal to the General Assembly, 14th May
1733, was dismissed, that Court homologat-
ing the action of the Synod and further
rebuking E. Against this, he and three
associates [William Wilson, Perth, Alex-
ander Moncrieff, Abernethy, and James
Fisher, Kinclaven] protested. The Assembly,
through a committee, endeavoured to per-
suade them to withdraw their Protest, and
the four ministers were given till the
meeting of the August Commission to
make up their minds, the Commission
being empowered to suspend them if they
refused, or to pronounce even a higher
censure. In August they were suspended,
and at next Commission, 16th Nov., by
the casting vote of the Moderator [John
Gowdie, D.D.], a sentence virtually amount-
ing to deposition was passed upon them.
E. and his friends thereupon signed a formal
act of secession. They met at Gairney
Bridge, near Kinross, where on 6th Dec.
they constituted themselves into an Asso-
ciate Presbytery with full powers. They
were afterwards joined by Erskine's brother
Ralph, min. of Dunfermline, Thomas Mair,
min. of Orwell, Thomas Nairn, min. of
Abbotshall, and James Thomson, min. of
Burntisland. Between 1734 and 1740
various healing measures were suggested,
all of which were rejected. The obnoxious
Act was declared no longer binding, and on
14th May 1734 the Assembly enjoined the
Synod "to take the case of the seceders
under consideration, and do therein as shall
be found most expedient for restoring the
peace and preserving the authority of the
Church." The sentence against them was
annulled 2nd July 1734, and the ministers
were restored to their status, E. being re-
elected Moderator of Synod. Every overture
failing, they were finally deposed by the
Assembly, 15th May 1740. E. preached
on the Abbey Craig and in the fields till
a meeting-house was erected. During the
Rebellion of 1745 he headed two companies
of Seceders against Prince Charles, and was
thanked by the Duke of Cumberland. On
the division in the Associate Church, 9th
April 1747, upon the question of the
Burgess Oath, E. adhered to the Burghers

support of a Dean, Prebendaries, and other
officials. In 1569, in place of the Dean and

1579

Prebendaries came the Ministers of the
King's House. The office of Dean was
revived by King James VI. and annexed
to the Bishopric of Galloway in 1606, and
the Chapel Royal transferred to Holyrood.
This charge was disjoined from Galloway,
annexed to the Bishopric of Dunblane 16th

[PRESB. OF

DUNBLANE AND KILBRIDE.

[These parishes were united in the six-
teenth century.

Dunblane. — From a very early date there
was at Dunblane a Celtic abbey dedicated
to St Blaan. About the middle of the
twelfth century King David I. changed
this old foundation into a bishopric. The
tower of the church, though its height has
since been raised, is built after the manner
of that time. It may even perhaps have
been part of the ancient monastery. For
a while the Culdee monks were left in
possession, subject to the Bishop's authority.
In 1212 Cormac MacPhoil is named as their
Prior. As time went on, the See became
impoverished and its buildings grew ruinous.
To bring back its prosperity, the Pope, in
1233, bestowed the bishopric on a man of
energy, an Italian Black Friar. This Bishop
was canonized at a later time, and is known
as St Clement of Dunblane. It was he who
cleared away the ancient monastery, keep-
ing only the tower, and began, in or about
1240, the erection of a stately cathedral
church. This good work his successors in
the See worthily carried on. In 1560 the
building was made the church of the parish,
and such it remains. For a time in the
seventeenth century it served again as a
cathedral as well as a parish church. Within
recent years, mainly through the munificence
of one of the heritors, Mrs David Wallace
of Glassingall, and her family, the church
of Dunblane has been very finely restored.
Unfortunately, somewhere about the begin-
ning of the eighteenth century, the stately
north and south porches of the edifice,
having become ruinous, were taken down.
Their restoration would very much enhance

1567

1572

1576

the dignity of this beautiful church. The
building is over 210 feet long and fully
50 feet high. It contains some fine ancient
carved woodwork. Fairs used to be held
at Dunblane on Whitsunday, Hallowmas,
and St Lawrence Day.

Kilbride. — The church of this parish was
dedicated to St Bride.]
